Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on May 3 that its officers had "liquidated" an agent from Ukraine's military intelligence who had allegedly arrived from Lithuania to carry out "terrorist acts" against military and energy objects in the Moscow and Leningrad regions. The FSB did not disclose the identity of the "saboteur" but said he was a Russian citizen born in 1976. According to the FSB, "during arrest, he offered armed resistance with firearms and was liquidated." Ukraine has yet to comment on the report. To read the original statement from the FSB, click here.
